A great evil waits at the bottom of the Abyss. Choose one of three warriors and fight your way downward through a side-scrolling action adventure.
Combat draws on fighting games, with directional attacks, combos, blocks, dodges, and special moves. Use a special ability to take the form of enemies you defeat and fight with their abilities.
Abyss rooms, traps, enemies, items, and encounters change between runs. Find merchants and treasure, unlock heroes, improve their skills, and equip weapons and accessories. Play solo or with a friend in co-op.
Players who enjoy the game often single out its distinctive art, character designs, and unusual atmosphere, along with the idea of possessing enemies and trying their movesets. Some also appreciate the combat’s depth and challenge once its systems click. Others find the controls and combat stiff or awkward, and some reviews describe the runs as repetitive or the game as light on content.
